rpc_gss_error_t

Structure used by rpc_gss_get_error()

to fetch an error code when a

RPCSEC_GSS routine fails.

typedef struct {

int rpc_gss_error;

int system_error; /* same as errno */

} rpc_gss_error_t;

Index to Routines

The following lists RPCSEC_GSS routines and the manual reference pages on which they are described.

An (S) indicates it is a server-side function.

RPCSEC_GSS Routines Description

rpc_gss_seccreate(3N) Create a secure

RPCSEC_GSS context.

rpc_gss_set_defaults(3N) Switch service and QOP for a session.

rpc_gss_max_data_length(3N) Get maximum data length allowed by transport.

rpc_gss_set_svc_name(3N) Set server’s principal name. (S)

rpc_gss_getcred(3N) Get credentials of caller. (S)

rpc_gss_set_callback(3N) Specify callback to see context use. (S)

rpc_gss_get_principal_name(3N) Get client principal name. (S)

rpc_gss_svc_max_data_length(3N) Get maximum data length allowed by transport. (S)

rpc_gss_get_error(3N) Get error number.

rpc_gss_get_mechanisms(3N) Get valid mechanism strings.

rpc_gss_get_mech_info(3N) Get valid QOP strings for current service.

rpc_gss_get_versions(3N) Get supported

RPCSEC_GSS versions.

rpc_gss_is_installed(3N) Checks if a mechanism is installed.

rpc_gss_mech_to_oid(3N) Maps ASCII mechanism to OID representation.

rpc_gss_qop_to_num(3N) Maps ASCII QOP, mechanism to

u_int number.

Utilities

The

gsscred utility manages the gsscred table, which contains mappings of principal names between

network and local credentials. See the gsscred (1M) manpage.

MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: Yes

Cancel Safe: Yes

Fork Safe: No

Async-cancel Safe: No

Async-signal Safe: No

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in

that they call functions that are cancel points.

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after

fork()

and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that supports

asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.
